I've known the MS's faults for awhile, but this recent fight just reiterated them again.

Assur's warrior fights the dreaded Khalhums Dwarf.
Fast forward to the end of minute 2, shortly after my guy's first tired message. The Dwarf finishes Minute 2 with 3 attacks. Minute 3 begins and before the Dwarf attacks, he is gasping for breath. Another attack, then a flail, then the Dwarf drops from exhaustion.

I have no idea what (if any) strengths the Morning Star has.
It's a bashing weapon.
And it burns endurance like a much bigger weapon.

I suppose in it's benefit, the crits are cool to read.

MS what the heck, it is probably a MicroSoft product?
The MS is the WF's big sister.

Don't forget to add the GS (Glass Sword) to the Whiffle (WF) and Waffle (MS). Three of the worst weapons in the game!

The MS has tremendous endurance burn with no noticable reason to choose it over weapons like the BS with less endurance burn and better damage. I do love the crits so that's it's only bonus I see. The WF has my favorite crits (especially the crit parry where it sings in A or E).

I would like to add that the LS is a horrible weapon for a TP! I have two in Primus with LS favorites, hate it!

I think the MS was supposed to be able to do really big damage if you got a good damage roll. My guys all pass out before that ever happens though.

That's funny because I tend to like the LS as a weapon for TPs and have at least 1 with it as a fave. I would think it may be pretty good for an Offensive-TP due to it's excellent knockdown ability.Never used it in ADM though. Must be all about personal experience, or a case of diminishing returns at higher levels.
